Supersymmetric Fivebrane Solitons

چکیده
We study the conditions for the fivebrane worldvolume theory in D=11 to admit supersymmetric solitons with non-vanishing self-dual three-form. We construct some new soliton solutions consisting of “superpositions” of calibrated surfaces, self-dual strings and instantons.

N = 2 Superfields and the M-fivebrane
In this paper we provide a manifestly N = 2 supersymmetric formulation of the M-fivebrane in the presence of threebrane solitons. The superspace form of four-dimensional effective equations for the threebranes are readily obtained and yield the complete Seiberg-Witten equations of motion for N = 2 super-Yang-Mills. A particularly simple derivation is given by introducing an N = 2 superfield gen...
متن کاملBrane Tilings and Their Applications
We review recent developments in the theory of brane tilings and four-dimensional N = 1 supersymmetric quiver gauge theories. This review consists of two parts. In part I, we describe foundations of brane tilings, emphasizing the physical interpretation of brane tilings as fivebrane systems. In part II, we discuss application of brane tilings to AdS/CFT correspondence and homological mirror sym...
متن کاملMonopole Condensation and Confining Phase of N = 1 Gauge Theories Via M Theory Fivebrane
The fivebrane of M theory is used in order to study the moduli space of vacua of confining phase N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions. The supersymmetric vacua correspond to the condensation of massless monopoles and confinement of photons. The monopole and meson vacuum expectation values are computed using the fivebrane configuration. The comparison of the fivebrane computati...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Gauge Theories with Classical Groups via M Theory Fivebrane
We study the moduli space of vacua of four dimensional N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories with the gauge groups Sp(2Nc), SO(2Nc) and SO(2Nc + 1) using the M theory fivebrane. Higgs branches of the N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories are interpreted in terms of the M theory fivebrane and the type IIA s-rule is realized in it. In particular we construct the fivebrane configuration whic...
